Cowboys Coach Bill Parcells said the gutsy play that Tony Romo pulled off in the pre-season game against the Raiders in 2004 is what won him a spot on the team. Tony went in the game with about 5 minutes left to play. At the goal line, he called a fake (or did he?) ball spike and dove into the end zone for the win. Tony was on the team in 2003 and in 2004 was on the verge of being cut from the on the roster and even though this performance helped, no doubt QB Quincy Carter's bad decision helped too. It would still be another two years before Tony got his chance to start.
***I had to follow up and comment about so many of you who have commented on how old the video looks. The quality is fine, it has been preserved since. I've seen more recent videos of games on RU-vid that are bad quality. Even though from 2004 and as technology has since improved, and the Oakland Coliseum with its sufficient lighting, it is not what it is like with todays lighted stadiums. It is pretty obvious that many of you were not familiar with the Oakland Coliseum.
